Come Visit Ravenscroft Manor...if you dare!
It is a dark and snowy December evening in the year of 1905. A man has been found dead at the bottom of the main staircase at the Ravenscroft estate. Inspector Ruffing has been called upon to investigate at this remote manor in the English countryside. The death was reported as an accident. The Inspector comes to question the five women who reside in the house. He meets Mrs. Ravenscroft, a recent widow, her seventeen year old daughter, Gillian, Marcy, Gillian's governess, Mrs. French, the housekeeper, and Dolly, the maid. Through his questioning, Inspector Ruffing comes to discover all kinds of truth. The truth about what really happened that night, the truth about these 5 very different women, and some truths about himself.
